Bojan Krkic completes him move to A.S Roma with a buy-back option: Serie A news
Spanish striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bojan-Krkic-c7794, has completed his move from Barcelona to Italian outfit, A.S Roma, for a reported fee of €12 million.
Krkic has been linked with the Giallorossi for some time now but the negotiations had stalled because of disagreement over a few clauses. The Catalans were reluctant to sell their prized asset and they wanted to place a buy-back
clause in the striker’s contract. The move was also put on hold due to delay in the signing of former Udinese attacker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alexis-Sánchez-c4979.
Barcelona completed the transfer of the Chilean star yesterday after agreeing on 33-million-pounds fee and today announced that Krkic will complete his protracted move to Stadio Olimpico Rome. The Catalans confirmed the agreement
with Roma on their official website and the player is expected to hold a press conference later this afternoon.
It is believed that the Spanish Champions have placed a buy-back clause in the player’s contract, which will allow them to re-sign him for €13 million at the end of the 2012/13 season. However, if Roma disagree to sell him, it
will raise the transfer fee to up to €40-million.
Since emerging from the youth ranks of Barcelona in 2006, Bojan has never established himself as a first team regular in Pep Guardiola’s team. The 20-year-old has played as an understudy to Lionel Messi, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Pedro-c29582.
Now, the arrival of Sanchez would have meant that he would further slip down in the pecking order of strikers at Camp Nou. Therefore, he asked the manager to allow him to join his former reserve team boss, Luis Enrique, at http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603.
Enrique was recently appointed as the Giallorossi head coach and he has been handed the responsibility of implementing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Barcelona-c38604 philosophy at the Rome based club. Krkic’s playing style has been likened to Argentine sensation,
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lionel-Messi-c22296, and Guardiola rates him highly.
The Spaniard made 163 appearances for the European Champions and found the back of the net on 41 occasions during his Camp Nou tenure. His impressive performances for the club also rewarded him with an international debut against
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Armenia-c2842 in 2008.
